CIN
looks
at using Linux in 911 emergency services. "
While the low cost of
Linux makes it attractive, the big draw for IT managers like Stebbins is
its reliability. The machines in the St. George 911 center are in use 24
hours a day, seven days a week, says Stebbins. One of the systems has been
running continuously for nearly a year and a half."
